Career, Life & Wellbeing Coaching
Create change aligned with what matters to you
We often find ourselves wanting to make a change or a go in new direction in our life and work.
But, it can feel hard to know where to start and sustain forward movement.
Alongside the excitement of exploring something new can bring uncertainty, barriers, and obstacles. Over time, this can leave us feeling stuck, unsure where to focus, or struggling to make consistent progress.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
We can create a different, more intentional path towards change. One that begins with connecting to what matters to us: our vision, values and inner wisdom. One where we learn skills to work with inner and outer challenges. One where we take next steps aligned with what we truly want next.
This is where coaching can help. With the right support and guidance, you can turn your vision into momentum to create change towards what’s most important to you.
Imagine what it would be like to…
Connect with your vision for what’s next in your life and work
Strengthen courage when facing inner barriers (fear, self-doubt, overwhelm) so they no longer hold you back
Gain clarity and alignment on what’s most important to you
Build momentum to accomplish your dreams and goals
More readily access your inner wisdom and truth
Reduce stress and burnout and experience greater wellbeing
Build skills and tools to navigate change with more ease
Your Coaching Experience
Coaching is a collaborative process that helps you connect with your truth, explore what matters most, navigate challenges, and make meaningful progress to build the changes you seek. Coaching supports you in moving from where you are today toward where you want to go.

Explore or design a career change: entrepreneur, side hustle, pivot, part-time, pause, work re-entry, retire
Get support as a newer coach: from exploring, to during and after a program; and while pursuing the ICF portfolio path
Get unstuck: shift how you relate to blocks and obstacles so they aren’t holding you back
Reduce overwhelm, stress and burnout and improve effectiveness and wellbeing
Navigate a life transition or change
Develop an outlet for creativity
My Coaching Approach:
As your coach, I facilitate the structure to help you move towards the changes most important to you, based on your dreams and goals. Through coaching, I create the space for you to connect to your wisdom, clarity and resourcefulness to build your unique path forward. I listen fully, ask curious questions and provide tools and frameworks to encourage insights and action steps.
I integrate a variety of coaching modalities and provide tools to support you to make progress. These include: positive psychology & wellbeing, leadership, business/practical skills and feminine empowerment. Coaching is confidential.
My style is grounded in my professional and lived experience as well as coaching training. As an ICF certified coach, my coaching training includes: positive psychology coaching certification, and Tara Mohr’s The Coaching Way and Playing Big Facilitator’s Training programs. I have a background in Human Resources and Organizational Development, with 15 years of experience and an MBA.
How Coaching Works:
Coaching sessions are conducted on zoom and last 50-60 minutes.
I offer short, mid-length and long term coaching packages depending on client goals. Coaching packages start at 4 sessions, progressing to 12 sessions.
On average, we’ll meet two times per month. We’ll discuss the right length and frequency for you based on your goals.

My Story
My journey to create change aligned with what matters to me started during a difficult time, as it often does. In 2015, in the midst of career burnout and infertility, I began focusing on my personal growth and wellbeing. This led to experiencing profound growth that changed me, without changing my circumstances.
Yet, a couple of years later, while still facing those challenges, I began to feel increasingly stuck and disconnected from myself. Over time, I would gain clarity to leave my previous career as it was no longer aligned with the future life I envisioned.
In 2018, I took a career pause after my daughter was born. I had a deep desire to recover from burnout and redesign what would be next for my career based on what mattered to me. Through a winding journey involving multiple transitions, I redefined my life and career to be in better alignment. In hindsight, I was going through a process to reconnect with myself and how I truly wanted to live my life. Since then, I’ve built a life and career that feels more fulfilling and meaningful, rediscovered my creative self-expression, especially writing, and experienced greater wellbeing.
Ultimately, my own experiences led me to become a coach, to guide others to build change aligned with what matters in their work and lives.
